Meanwhile, more than 63% of Americans have begun modifying how they eat as a result of food costs. 31% of the country, on the other hand, is not doing this yet.
Inflation continues to play a role in grocery prices, as do ongoing supply chain problems. Thus far, the American public shouldn’t hold its breath waiting for the White House to announce comprehensive methods to tackle these issues.
Finding an alternative
Grocery prices, as they stand today, have played a role in Americans going to dollar stores for their produce and food. As it turns out, people are looking to save money in any way they can.
Within the past several months, dollar stores have seen new upticks in sales. As this occurs, a slight decline in grocery store shoppers remains documented as well.
For many Americans on fixed incomes or living paycheck-to-paycheck, this new trend may shift into the new normal. Time will tell what other lifestyle adjustments people make as the price tags continue to grow.
